Today we’d like to introduce you to Adriana Carolina Sacka
Adriana Carolina, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Hola, my name is Carolina, creator of Inspire 2 Shine. Growing up in Colombia, I was always passionate about fashion and accessories. My journey towards the creation of Inspire 2 Shine is a story of resilience, creativity and love for beauty and female empowerment.
At the age of 18, my life took a significant turn when I became a mother to a beautiful baby girl. Ten years later, I was blessed to welcome my son. Despite facing great responsibilities from an early age, I continued my university studies while working from the age of 16, always dreaming of entrepreneurship and making my work my passion.
I spent many years working in a successful company, dedicating myself to it as if it were my own life project. However, one day that dream came to an unexpected end. It was a difficult moment, but also an opportunity to reinvent myself. Soon after, I started working for an American company and met my husband, my biggest supporter. Five years ago, I moved to the beautiful state of Florida, where I have finally had the time and freedom to reconnect with my passions and my life purpose, to dedicate time to my children, to my husband and to create the family I always dreamed of.
Inspire 2 Shine was born out of my love for accessories and my desire to inspire other women to feel confident, authentic, and radiant. Each piece in our collection tells a story and carries with it the inspiration of many strong, creative women who have influenced my life and inspired me.
My mission with Inspire 2 Shine is to help you look radiant, confident and to bring out your inner and outer beauty. I want to be there to support other women not only from Colombia but all over the world, so that their creations can be showcased, and dreams fulfilled. I firmly believe that accessories are an extension of our personality and a way to express who we are and how we feel. That’s why every piece of Inspire 2 Shine jewelry is created to make you feel special and empowered.
I want to inspire all those young, entrepreneurial, creative women to pursue their dreams, no matter how long it takes. It’s never too late to start over and shine with your own light. Throughout my life, I have learned that perseverance, discipline and the support of loved ones can make our dreams come true, no matter how difficult they may seem.
Inspire 2 Shine is not just an accessories brand; it is a movement to celebrate the authenticity, creativity and strength of women. Through our jewelry, we want to convey the importance of feeling good about yourself and showing the world the light within.
Thank you for being part of our story. With every piece you wear, you are not only embellishing your appearance, but also inspiring and empowering other women to shine brightly.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
When we talk about entrepreneurship, it is not a path of roses, but a path of many lessons and challenges. From the moment I decided to pursue being an entrepreneur, a lot of emotions took over. For example, how do I figure out a game plan while I am still trying to define what it is I want to do. How do I find a mentor that will help challenge me and bring out the best in me when I still didn’t believe in myself yet . However, in those moments when you see that sales are not going as expected, or people close to you do not support you, your motivation, perseverance and your desire to continue begins to fade. I think the biggest challenge of an entrepreneur is to continue standing tall in the face of adversity and never ever quit on your goals and dreams. In my particular case it has been to believe in myself again, that I can succeed in another business, that I can trust again and that I can develop all the skills I need to take the name of Inspire 2 Shine to the mountain top.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Inspire 2 Shine?

What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
Being from Colombia, I love the culture and diversity of Miami. Every time I drive to Miami, I look forward to trying new resturant’s or catching a great Latin concert.
The only thing I don’t like about Miami is the traffic.
